MOUNT VERNON, NY – “It’s hard to imagine accomplishing what InfoComm made possible via any other platform,” opines Key Digital® VP of product education and experience Jonathon Ferry regarding the InfoComm 2022 AV industry trade event. Key Digital Systems, an award-winning developer and manufacturer of leading-edge digital video processing and video signal distribution solutions, traveled to Las Vegas in June to demonstrate its comprehensive range of solutions for unified communications and collaboration, AV over IP, digital video processing and switching, connectivity and control. “Trade shows serve an important role in our business,” elaborates DeWayne Rains, VP of sales at Key Digital, “as InfoComm 2022 confirmed. The concentration of both U.S. and international dealers and distributors made for a very busy and extremely productive show.”
Key Digital’s exhibition approach turned its section of the InfoComm 2022 HDBaseT pavilion into a compact yet amply capable conference room. “As they sat down with us,” shares Ferry, “our guests experienced firsthand the simplicity of full integration with our Conference-Room-in-a-Box (CRB) system, all controllable via our free Key Digital App for iOS.” Illustrating the expansive range of connectivity and capabilities of Key Digital’s CRB hardware, the base system comprised a KD-UPS52U 4K/18G HDBaseT 5×2 Universal Presentation Switcher with USB 2.0 KVM, a KD-X4x1WUTx 4×1 4K/18G HDBaseT PoH Wall Plate Switcher and a KD-CAMUSB 1080P USB PTZ camera.
“We built on this core,” Ferry continues, “by adding a KD-CX800 Control Interface with IR & RS232 over IP Routing and our simple plug-n-play solution for complete control and signal management of multi-brand systems, Compass Control® Pro for iOS. When mated with a TOA Electronics’ Lenubio conferencing soundbar, CAMUSB, CX800 and Compass Control make up our entry LeCAMbio conferencing system. We use the beam steering status of the seven-microphone array in the Lenubio soundbar to automatically call camera PTZ presets for a very effective demo of LeCAMbio’s effortless automated operation which delivers simultaneous voice and camera tracking for end-users in huddle spaces, conference rooms, trainings rooms, lecture halls and more.”
“Our stand-alone KD-BYOD4K Wireless Presentation Gateway was also incorporated into the conferencing system as a source,” adds Rains. “We showed our visitors how they could take whatever device they were carrying – iOS or Android phones and tablets, Windows and Mac laptops and even Chrome OS devices – and rapidly connect and cast content onto our screen with impressive simplicity.” The KD-BYOD4K was further used to connect the booth staff’s own devices and wirelessly cast video case studies of notable and compelling AV over IP, multiview and control installations for their guests. “These case studies,” says Rains,” effectively demonstrated the full power and capability of Key Digital solutions that included our range of AV over IP encoders/decoders, HDMI, programmable wall plate controllers, USB and control extenders, and the new KD-MLV4x4Pro 4×4 4K UHD HDMI seamless matrix switcher with multi-view tiling.”
“There’s nothing as compelling as a live demonstration to show that we truly mean it when we say our systems are easy to set up, easy to operate, high-performance and high-quality,” says Ferry. “You can almost see the lightbulbs go off over their heads as people start thinking ahead to installations where Key Digital gear will be a perfect fit.”
Rains concludes: “Meeting with current colleagues, making new connections, and showing them all how Key Digital solutions can cost-effectively solve problems and reduce both install time and support calls – the real value of InfoComm for us was as a platform for effectively demonstrating our own value.”
